Overview

About 16 High Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 High Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2QD). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 sits 71.8% above the 2012 sale of £177,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 High Street is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME17 2QD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 16 High Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 High Street was lodged in November 2019 at band E and is valid until November 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 16 High Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME17 2QD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 High Street is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
